Jason Day Joins Bridgestone – Key Takeaways

Former World No. 1 Day joins Bridgestone’s Tour StaffDay joins Tiger, Bryson, Fred Couples, Lexi Thompson and Matt KucharHe’ll be gaming the 2022 Bridgestone TOUR B X

It’s not as earth-shattering as the day it signed the world’s 650th ranked player, but today’s news from Bridgestone is noteworthy. The word out of Covington, GA is former World No. 1 Jason Day is joining the Bridgestone Tour Staff starting this weekend in Orlando at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Terms of the multiyear deal are unannounced, but Bridgestone does say Day will be playing the 2022 Tour B X “for the foreseeable future.” Day joins Tiger, Bryson, Matt Kuchar, Fred Couples and Lexi Thompson in the Bridgestone stable.

“We’ve been working with him for over a year now,” Bridgestone Golf Ball Fitting Manager Adam Rehberg tells MyGolfSpy. “He’s very comfortable with the ball now and he wants to be a bigger part of the team.”

A Long Day’s Journey

Day started experimenting with the Bridgestone TOUR B XS nearly two years ago, after playing with Tiger at Bay Hill. He was still under contract with TaylorMade at the time but asked Tiger for a sleeve of his balls to try. After his TaylorMade deal ran out, Day put the XS into play on his own without a deal.

“But as you guys have said, the Tiger ball doesn’t fit everybody,” Rehberg told us. “It can be way too spinny, even for a guy like Jason Day. He already had plenty of spin around the greens, but he found with the XS he was getting some floaty shots with his 6- through 9-irons. The X was a little more stable for him.”

Defending Arnold Palmer Invitational winner Bryson DeChambeau won't try to defend his title at Bay Hill Club & Lodge this week because of a lingering left hand injury.

It’s my favorite time of year. No not Christmas but pretty damn close. The Arnold Palmer Collection 2022 to be exact. So yeah it’s the same thing in my eyes.

Puma Golf has launched its new spring 2022 PUMA X Arnold Palmer Collection. Trust me, there’s something about that yellow, green, red and white umbrella that gives me the tingles.

So without further ado, here is the new collection that I thought you might want to see.

Check it out and let me know if you love this time of year also.

To pure or not to pure, that is the question. Or the less esoteric version – should I get my shafts pured?

I’d bet a nice steak dinner that many of you are thinking “I don’t even know what that means.”  I hear you. Hang tight.

Whether this is a reasonable expense, it is a common query we receive from readers. Particularly if the discussion leans towards boutique club fitters or the differences between buying clubs off-the-rack or having a set custom fit.

But before we can answer the question, let’s start with a common definition.

SST PURE – What is it?

The textbook definition might read something like this – A process by which a specialized machine locates the optimal (most stable) orientation of a shaft.
